A Spring Stroll


I had another canvas from the painting project gone bad (mentioned here) and really liked the way the book pages covered up all my mistakes! I covered my canvas and then it sat around for a couple days with no ideas. I saw this on pinterest and that became my inspiration! I was originally going to make it an Easter decoration (add a bunny maybe some basket and eggs) but when I was working on it I decided the scale I had cut it all off was wrong, and I just wasn't happy with it anyway. I completely changed my idea, but I love the way this turned out so much better! It's a family portrait of sorts (me, my hubbster, and our two dogs)


All of this was cut with just a regular pair of scissors, and took about 2 1/2 hours! I so wish I had a Silhouette machine! :)
